A few of our middle school students assembled in Mrs. Susie Baker’s classroom after school last week for the first meeting of Attica’s PenPal Club.
“At our first meeting, we googled other states that had Attica as a city or town,” said Baker, the club advisor. “We found schools within those towns and wrote letters to them.”
Students gave a bit of information about Attica - like our school colors and mascot and how Wyoming County has more cows than people.
“Then we asked about things that are unique to their school and town,” said Baker. “We’re looking forward to getting responses for our next club date in February.”
The PenPal Club is funded by the $2.8 million School Climate Grant awarded to the district by the U.S. Department of Education in 2019.
